People in the UAE pay fees for electricity, water, sewage, public transportation, and so on. Residents pay for visas to live and work in the country

LAWS
The government makes laws to protect people. People have to obey the set of laws in their community. The police protect people and enforce the laws. People who do not obey laws may have penalties. The penalty depends on the law broken. Penalties may include paying money, spending time in prison, or other penalties. The government makes laws to prevent conflicts between people. If people have conflicts, judges decide who is right and who is wrong. Judges decide if a law is broken. Judges decide the penalty when a law is broken. They must be fair to everyone

Lesson 3 Safety and Security
CYBER SECURITY
Computers and the internet have made life more convenient. People have access to a wealth of information and can complete transactions using smart devices. With the benefits have come dangers. The word cyber means computer, so cyber security means computer
security. Not all online information is accurate. It is important to check the sources (where the information comes from). The source has to be reliable or trustworthy Talking to strangers can be dangerous in person and online. Sharing personal information and pictures with strangers is not a good idea. Online strangers may pretend to be your peers
you to share details with them. They could use your data to create fake identities which could cause you to get in trouble later. You should always create strong passwords and keep them secret. Sharing your password with friends is not a good idea. It is important to stay safe. Hackers are people who are able illegally access other people's account details. In the case of banking information, they may use other people's money to pay their own
Lesson 6 Infrastructure
WHAT IS INFRASTRUCTURE
Communities need infrastructure to function properly. Infrastructure can be divided into several parts: physical structures, institutions, facilities, and services. Physical structures are the roads, airports, highways, and ports. They include everything related to transportation Institutions (government structures that serve people in the country) such as public hospitals, schools, museums, and libraries are part of the infrastructure. Institutions provide services for education, health, cultural experiences, and so on. Every community uses water and energy services, sewerage (waste water), and garbage removal. Police officers, firefighters, and military are part of the service infrastructure. Communities on the border with another country have border patrols
WHY IS INFRASTRUCTURE IMPORTANT
Some communities are busy places. Communities that are well developed and have easy access are more attractive to new business. New businesses mean more income for the community. People pay taxes for the services offered by the government. If the - services are good, people will be willing to pay more to stay in that community. When a
community has more money, it can offer better services to its citizens. One for the community to make more money is to become a tourist attraction. The community has to be easily accessible by roads, railway, ports and airports, so that more tourists can visit. If the community has a big zoo, for example, people may travel to the community to see the animals. Tourists may stay at hotels and spend money on food. All this is revenue (income) for the community that can be invested into more and better infrastructure

TOLERANCE
What is tolerance? Tolerance is the ability to accept others as they are even if they are different. Good citizens are open minded. They learn from others and accept their peers. For example, Fatima lives with her mom and dad in an apartment. Every day at 5pm, they sit at the table and eat together, while they talk about their day. Fatima's family likes to eat meat and rice at every meal. Fatima's friend, Sarah, lives with her extended family (mom, dad, aunt, uncle, three younger cousins, grandma, and grandpa). The family eats dinner together late at night while sitting in a circle on the floor. Sarah's family do not eat meat and they do not speak during the meal. Sarah and Fatima are friends whose families have different rules and habits. They know about the differences their families have and accept each other anyway. The year 2019 was named the "Year of Tolerance" to raise awareness of the many cultures and nationalities that leave peacefully in the UAE
Lesson 8 Citizenship
HONESTY
Honesty means telling the truth and not doing things to deceive or cheat others. When we are truthful, people trust us. People who tell lies eventually get caught. After people get caught telling lies, other people no longer trust them. Why do people lie? Sometimes people lie to get out of trouble. For example, a boy played soccer in the house and knocked
over the flower pot. The pot broke. When - his parents asked what happened, he
said his baby sister did it. His parents knew that was not possible. What do you think his parents thought of him after that
ACADEMIC HONESTY
